Thanks Curtis! Wonderful message.
Thank you Brian. There’s just so much there in that verse. Praise God! I just hope these are helpful for everyone!
You're teaching a false gospel of works, and works cannot save anyone, stop relying on your performance and believe Gods word for justification. Jesus Christ is the Savior of man not your works of righteousness. Romans 6:23 The payment for sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, not your behavior.
I don't think when James in 2:14 says can faith save him? read 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and we don't give them food or clothes, this is not talking about eternal life, it is talking about being saved from hunger and nakedness. James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all, so works cannot save you unless you live a sinless life which is exactly what Jesus did for us, because we could not do that. He was sinless and took our sin on him, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Romans 4:4-6 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. If it is by works, then it says God would owe us according to our performance. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness, we can see it is faith and not works. 6 Even David also describes the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputes righteousness WITHOUT WORKS. Ephesians 2:9 Not of works. Titus 3:5 NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, but by his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. We are saved and born again at the same time through faith in what he did, not by what we have done.
I would point out that you misquoted verse 38 by saying we are to repent of our sins, it says repent and let everyone of you be baptized, repent is change your mind and agree the gospel is true, not stop sinning. Romans 9:11 says an unborn child has not done anything good or evil, but in chapter 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world "Adam", and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. The unborn has not sinned, and many children have not yet sinned after being born because they cannot yet reason or understand the difference between good and evil. The scripture does say in John 3:3 Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. In verse 5 Except a man be born of water or of the flesh and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. I don't believe anyone can go to heaven unless they have been regenerated or born again of the Spirit. That happens by grace through faith in the word of God according to 1 Peter 1:23. Revelation 20 talks about the millennial reign, the thousand years Christ rules on earth and then Satan is loose for a season, those that never had a chance to believe on Christ will be given that same opportunity, that is my opinion and only an opinion. So, do you believe we are all saved the same way by grace through faith or do the unborn babies and babies that are too young to even talk yet can go to heaven without being born of the Spirit?
I believe Jesus was preaching the gospel about himself to the two on the crosses one on his left and one right side, as he did in Luke 24:13-35 to the two from Emmaus and opened their eyes, of the thieves one believed, and one didn't, I believe the one on his right did, and the one on his left didn't. Jesus was always preaching and teaching in every situation he was in, it was for their salvation, I believe that was all he had on his mind. Paul said that is why Christ Jesus came into this world was to save sinners, of whom he was chief. 1 Timothy 1:15. Romans 1:16 says the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation unto everyone that believes. As it says in John 6:45 they heard and learned but only one believed and came to him, in verse 47 he said he that believes on me has everlasting life.
In the law of Moses, a sin offering had to be made from a certain age up to the oldest person. They didn't have to offer a sin offering for babies so God saw babies as sinless TC.
TYSM for your video. I need this..... Question? Where do I draw the line between Mercy & Naivity? Not trying to be cynical, But.......
Praise God! We could all use a reminder… such a great challenge.
Only a person with no faith would believe one has to assemble. Most that sit in buildings they call a church. Are not actually the church. Why? Because they believe they have to do works to be saved. And to stay saved. The road to destruction is wide. And many find it. The majority of those who claim to be the church. Past and present. Will never see the gates of heaven.
I think we should all be baptized by water, but that is in obeying just like being circumcised in the Old Testament. Paul said for in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature, we are circumcised in the heart by God. The same can be said about water baptism, the baptism of the Spirit is what is important not water. Paul in Titus is telling us we are saved by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost, the washing he is talking about is in Revelation 1:5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. It is through his blood, not water. 1:20 says and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself, by him whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. We are not saved by being baptized in water, we are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest a man should boast. Water baptism is a works of righteousness, something we do. Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
Keep preaching truth my man. People looking for excuses to not do something that is taught in the bible are in the wrong from the get-go. "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved..."
And you also beg the question that just because water-baptism is practiced, that this also means that it is done for or part of salvation. The Apostle Paul writing to saved baptized believers is not proof they were water-baptized for salvation. And I would contend that other places in Pauline epistles that he does say that water-baptism is salvific. Rom. 6:3,4; Col. 2:11-13; Gal. 3:27; Eph. 4:4,5 are all the context of Spirit baptism of 1Cor. 12:13.
The context is against that water-baptism is done for or part of salvation. Water-baptism isn’t prioritized like salvation is elsewhere in scripture, 2Cor. 6:2. IF* water-baptism is done for or part of salvation, then water-baptism should be prioritized just as salvation is. And only preaching the cross is connected with salvation but the Apostle Paul doesn’t say the same things about water-baptism?
Baptism is part of salvation not a separate thing, "he who is believes AND IS BAPTIZED shall be saved..."
doing the lords work here. Thank you.
Greencastle church of christ
Millions of people get visited by God every day across the globe & religions began from stories of people who were visited by God. They all describe God in their own unique way just as everyone on the web has a different point of view of each new topic that arises. There are billions of reports of people being visited by God & every day on forums new reports are being given. But it's not something you can convince other people about because there's no material proof the events happened. So it's silly to try & convince other people that God exists. They either believe their fellow man & woman or they don't. Religious scriptures could have been falsified in some way & we will never know. But the ordinary everyday person who gets visited by God can tell their story in their own words & that is more interesting than dubious scriptures. God visited people in ancient times & God is visiting people at this moment & that is the proof that God exists. Whether you believe it or not means nothing at all
trinity is fake gospel and there are many false christians preaching it....Be careful.
There will be rapture. - And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall GATHER TOGETHER his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. - Matthew 24:31...Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. - 1 Thessalonians 4:17
Right, but in the sense that the “rapture” is taught today. Matthew 24:31 is symbolic language of God protecting his people (Isaiah 11:12; 56:8; His 11:12, etc) when he was judging other nations. In this case, that judgment would be His judgement on Jerusalem (Mt 24:1-2, 34). Like I said in the video, 1 Thessalonians 4 is just one side of the story of Christ’s return. When Christ comes ALL who are alive and in the graves (the just and unjust) will come forth in the same hour and some will be resurrected to eternal life and some to condemnation (Jn 5:28-29).
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 Brother, take heed: Matthew 24:1-2 is already fulfilled when Romans came and destroyed Jerusalem before.....John 5:28-29 is explained in Matthew 27:52-53.....Be careful, but as for the rapture, here is another proof in Revelation 12:14....the enemy will be cast to the earth, the saints raptured before the Great Tribulation starts....
Jumpted to a lot of conclusions. Turned from gospel ? Were did it say that. Landed in hell? You inserted that in text. Not very honest. Some translations say "barely escaping" another on "point of escape" that would support they were always Dogs and pigs are both unclean animals, unregenerate. Not sure its as hard and fast as you think.
Horrible horrible teaching. No, the Bible does not say anywhere that we can lose salvation. You really think you can lose what God has given you? 2 Peter 2 doesn’t say that you can lose salvation. Goodness… brother really? He’s referring to people who learn about Jesus and even walk in His ways but then get entangled back into the sinful world. It’s referring to someone who never had a personal relationship with Jesus to begin with. Learning about Jesus and even doing what He says doesn’t save someone. Salvation comes to those who go to Jesus with their heart in their hands, repenting and denying themselves, and trusting that Jesus’ life and work on the cross paid for their sins.
Really. These are people who have escaped the polutionsof the world, knew the way of righteousness, but turned back to wallow in their past lives. I don't see anywhere in there that says these people “never had a personal relationship with Jesus.” That's a fable. There are plenty of passages that warn about turning our back on Jesus after receiving him and there turning our back on eternal life. Curious who you would say that the book of Hebrews was written to? And why did the writer warn them about “casting away confidence which has great reward,” needing “endurance, so that after they have done the will of God, they may receive the promise” and not “drawing back to perdition” but continue to believe encouraged them to the saving of their soul (Hebrews 10:35-39)?
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 bcz they chose despite the fact that they heard the truth about salvation through jesus, they went back to follow the law, and thus they crucified jesus for themselves for the second time. by willingly rejecting the cross. show me all the other plenty verses that says that a born again believer can lose salvation. good grief.
Good thought process in this video, but what about the man next to Jesus on the cross? He was never baptized, but Jesus confirmed that he would see Him in heaven. This seems to undermine the idea that baptism is required for salvation.
Correct! Additionally, First Corinthians 1:17 affirms, "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect." So baptism is separate from the Gospel and is distinguishable from it. But, that's only according to the Apostle Paul, of course. LOL!
Good question, but I have a few objections to using the thief as an objection to what Jesus says that I hope you’ll consider. #1. Was he really not baptized? Where does the scriptures tell us one way or another? Before Jesus’ ministry even started, multitudes of Jews (common people & sinners, like this thief) were flocking out to John to be baptized which was the will of God for them (Luke 7:29-30) and for the remission of sins (Mark 1:4). Also, was preaching about a kingdom, which this thief seemed to know something about (Matthew 3:2; Luke 23:42). Either way, we’re just not told if he was baptized or not. #2. Jesus had power on earth to forgive sins (Mk 2:10). At the time of this guy’s death, Jesus was still on earth. This was a face to face interaction. But Jesus is no longer on earth, therefore he has given a new way to obtain the forgiveness of our sins (Acts 2:38). #3. Like Jesus, this thief lived and died under the OT (Gal 4:4-5), which we are no longer under. The NT did not begin until Acts 2, after the resurrection, which did not happen during the life of this thief. In fact, Mark 16:16 was spoken after the thief died, and is a passage, where Jesus is preparing his apostles to preach the gospel as his NT ambassadors. #4. Even if this thief was taken down from the cross and baptized, he would not have become a Christian. Baptism into Christ has a meaning that John’s baptism could not have. It's a death, burial, and resurrection that unite us in Christ’s experience (Romans 6:1-4, 5; Colossians 2:12; etc), yet christ had not been resurrected yet. Baptism into Christ saves us through the resurrection (1 Peter 3:21). Hope they helps. just a few things to consider. Let me know what you think.
@@trinitybaptistchurch1888 no, I believe what Paul spoke and wrote came from God (1 Corinthians 2:7; Galatians 1:11-12; Ephesians 3:1-5; etc). But 1 Corinthians 1:17 has a context. No where in the text did Paul say baptism was not necessary or that none of the Corinthians were baptized, or that they did need to be baptized. In fact, there is a suggestion that all of them were baptized, but Paul is just saying he was thankful he had not baptized many of them (only the few he mentions). What's the reason? Because there were divisions among them over who did their baptizing (vs 11-13, 3:4-10). Paul’s point is that he was thankful he did not baptize many of them, because if he had they might say they were “baptized in the name of Paul” instead of claiming Christ (vs. 13). As far as vs 17, His role was not to do the baptizing (it doesn't matter who baptizes you), but His role was to be God’s vessel and declair God’s message (cf. Acts 9:15). Question along those lines. Who do you think did the baptizing of the 3,000 in Acts 2? Honestly, I have no idea, but at some point I have a feeling it was no longer (or never was) the job of the Apostles, because in Acts 6 they choose 7 men to tend to the business of the church so that they could “give themselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” - Acts 6:4 (cf. Acts 2:42). That was the mission of the Apostles: to be God’s preachers and ministers of the word.
Hello, I'm not sure what is your intention behind this video but I'm not sure that calling atheists "fools" is gonna help your message.... The problem with fire is that it actually exists and not only you can see it with your eyes but you can also feel the heat the closer you get to it. And it's the same experience for everyone. Now about God, it's very random and if you are not already convinced that He exists, you will never find any clue. Thousands of people, if not millions, are praying for years without getting a sign of Him... It's not very nice to call them fool.
Oh my god guys he cracked the code, evidence for the bible = because the bible says so, not to mention paul said it! who was a notoriously shady individual who never actually met jesus, also claiming that he persecuted the early church yet there is literally no evidence for that anywhere else in history, Wrap it up guys he got us.
I wonder if the psalmist would have a heart attack if he saw what happened to the jewish people and the birth of christianity in general, I dont think he would see us the as the fools anymore, especially when we have made so much progress in all major fields without religion.
Thanks for this

Hey I experience blurred vision when I’m manefesting I’ve seen it as shifting.
You friend need to read the scriptures in context! Heb 10 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, (Received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, and NOT salvation, or Redemption just a little twisting of scripture throughs it all the way off. The Hebrew writer is making a POINT, not a warning and he even includes HIMSELF if He had not believed BUT only received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, (( IF WE wilfully sin )) The point is what happens to unbelievers, not backsliders, and or believers that go back to. animal sacrifices BUT those that got the message but rejected it HOW? by ignoring it and going back to their life rejecting Christ's message of the gospel. ) 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? ( SHALL he be THOUGHT WORTHY! someone who thought he was worthy to THINK he could step on the blood of CHRIST that has Sanctified The Lord at the Cross, not the person, stop twisting the scriptures please, Jesus is our sanctification, our Redemption, Our Justification, NOT us, WOW have we got that far to twist scripture in a way to Hate the true message of the Cross WOW! ) 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. ( Look at the answer in the next verse friend! ) 39 But WE ARE NOT of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Just think about some things he says: #1 - The writer says they were scantified by His blood, but they counted it a common thing. #2 - The writer says they cast away their confidence - How can they cast away something they never had? #3 - vs. 32-36 it says they suffered for mistreatment and Paul says they need endurance and if they did, then they would receive the promise. #4 - How could they draw back to perdition (condemnation), if they had never escaped it in the first place? This book itself is clearly written to Christians and this is a warning to these Christians (Hebrews 3:1, 10:19, vs 26… “For if WE sin willfully”) Question: if these were not Christians, then what former days is he trying to get them to recall? Clearly he's trying to get them to bring them back to after they obeyed the gospel and suffered for Christ, but he's fearful that they don't have the same endurance they did before. All respect my friend, just trying to understand the text together.

Amen brother!
I am asked by others if they have to be baptized to be saved. See this is where some get messed up.
As do I. May I ask what they get messed up about it?
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 because many preachers will teach that one has to be baptized in water.
@@defendingthefaith.7889 I would agree with them. What kind baptism do you think Mark 16 and Colossians 2 is talking about? What do you think Jesus and Paul are saying we need to be baptized into?
@@defendingthefaith.7889 That’s right. Jesus is the one that says we need to need to be baptized to be saved - Mark 16:16. My point is that people will use Ephesians 2:8 as a reason Jesus was wrong or that baptism is something other than water baptism. But here’s where I see the issue lies, Mark 16:16 and Ephesians 2 are not at odds. There’s a harmony between the two verses. Physically baptism is something done to us, and not something we do - but that’s neither here nor there. Because Biblically speaking Baptism is a work, but it’s not our work. It’s God’s work. He commanded it. He is at work as we are submitting to HIs will. God is removing our sins and raising us to a new life. I think where many go wrong i
So what did the blood of Jesus do?
It's through his blood we are cleansed from our sins. But this isn't an either or scenario. Ananis says thers’s a point in which we wash our sins away - Acts 22:16.
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 I heard you say we need to be washed of our sins by being baptized in the water.
@@defendingthefaith.7889 “ And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Acts 22:16. The water is just the element God chose, but it’s the means in which He works (not the water) is removing sin from our life (Colossians 2:11-13). It’s our point of contact with the blood (1 John 5:6-8).
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 Paul is recounting the story of how he came to faith in Christ; this verse is a retelling of Acts 9:18. Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus and accepted Him as Lord with the help of a Jesus-follower named Ananias. Ananias called Paul to make his decision official by being baptized in Jesus' name. The language of baptism in the Bible can be confusing to a modern reader; some passages seem to suggest that we cannot be saved without it. The truth requires a deeper dive into the culture. In the first century, Judaism had several sects, including Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots. To publicly show alignment, a new convert would be baptized into that sect. This is why people were baptized "Into John's [the Baptist] baptism" (Acts 19:3): to publicly align with his message of repentance of sins. In Judaism, baptism followed such a decision immediately. In the professional American football leagues, players selected in yearly drafts put on a hat from that team when they are selected. In a similar sense, baptism in that era was an external, overt sign that one had just then and there become a member of that group. The Greek of this passage was translated by Charles C. Ryrie as: "Having arisen, be baptized; and wash away your sins, having called on the name of the Lord." "His name" means, of course, Jesus' name. Jesus' name is more than the sounds or letters we use to identify Him; it refers to His character, person, reputation, teaching, deeds, and everything about Him. To be baptized in His name means to accept everything about Him and agree to orient one's life around Him. Some people struggle with the wording here compared to Jesus' words in the Great Commission when He says, "baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). Believers should be baptized in the name of all three Persons of the Trinity; here, however, Paul is specifically talking about Jesus of Nazareth and how He led Paul to spread His offer of salvation to the Gentiles.
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 Acts 22:6-16 continues Paul's defense against accusations that he both breaks the Mosaic law and associates with Gentiles. He has described his early life training to be a Pharisee and persecuting the church (Acts 22:3-5). Now, he explains how he came to follow Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah. His accusers show polite interest in his story until he arrives at the point in the narrative where Jesus tells him to give Gentiles the way of salvation. Paul's conversion experience is also recorded in Acts 9:1-19 and reiterated in Acts 26:12-18.
James 2 speaking of faith without works is dead. (Believing alone isn’t enough, even the demons believe). James 5 also mentions bringing back a straying brother. If a follower of Christ couldn’t stray they wouldn’t need brought back. The need for repentance is also very real! If one is “saved”…. They must live faithfully unto death to receive the crown of life Rev 2:10. Must love God and live for Him. If you live for self, one could be saved and live a very sinful life- plenty of verses in NT showing if you sin you shall not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. You must keep on keeping on until the day of physical death. “Once saved always saved” is nowhere in scripture
Amen! You’re absolutely right. There are plenty of passages that shows God did the work of salvation, but now it’s up to us. We must choose to be saved. We must choose to endure and remain faithful to receive the end of our faith - the salvation of our souls. Plus, there are plenty of warnings about what happens when we (Christians) abandon Christ and His sacrifice after being saved, we abandon all that Christ’s sacrifice has to offer.
if I could lose my salvation... then Jesus couldn't save me... and I would need another savior. the fact of the matter is... if you are not once saved always saved.. then you are not saved. btw.. the New King James Version is not a "new" King James version.. at all.
Is salvation a choice that is made by the one being saved?
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 no
So are you saying the person who is “saved” has no choice in the matter? Then does the lost person have no choice in the matter? They will just be lost and nothing they can do about it. Am I understanding you correctly?
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 kinda.. Jesus says in John 15:16 "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you" the lost have the opportunity now to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.. but make no mistake about it... it is God that chooses us that are saved. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; > and that not of yourselves < : it is the gift of God: we are 100% at the mercy of God.. all of us. to them that believe, it is given.. to them that do not believe, it will not be given. so that is correct to say we have no "choice" in the matter. we can choose to believe.. but its ultimately on God to choose us. our choice doesn't matter... His choice does. anything less than that, belittles God

not true, i can show you plenty of verses about always saved, but it would be pointless since youre so convinced about this. these ppl were false converts. they never really repented and got born again.. they were like the parable of the sower, the first type of seed.
I ask that you get a dictionary and look up the word eternal, the word never, the word forever. You are doing the same thing this man is, interpreting the words of Jesus who is God by scriptures that were written by others that were inspired by him. Do you really think Jesus would say one thing and use someone else to refute what he said? 1 John 5:20 says Jesus is the true God, and eternal life. 1 John 5:10-11 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar, because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God has given us partial life, no he has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The problem is as it says in 2 Peter 3:16 As in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable twist or distort, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. This man does not understand the scriptures any better than you, I would urge you to read what Jesus has said in the gospel of John and use his own words to interpret the scriptures according to his words, he is God. Read the word without a religious or denominational lens, and just let the word of God speak to you. Praying for your putting on Christ, remember circumcision means nothing nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
So…. I can continue sinning willfully on a daily basis and get the heaven? Hebrews 10:26. Matthew 7. I encourage you to read Colossians ch 3. Press toward that goal. In most of the Apostle Paul’s writings he said he had not obtained it yet, but keep living for Christ.
@@EugeneHolley-rc6ryhow does one put on Christ? The New Testament is very specific on this matter.
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. what did Jesus mean when he said "it is finished" ?
He mean that the redemptive work was complete. He had done his part and fulfilled scripture.
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 "receptive work" ? what is that?
@@jhenningkelloggia *redemptive work… good ol’ auto correct.
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 ok... so lets talk about this "redemptive work" that Jesus did. is that enough, by itself, to save you?
@@jhenningkelloggia absolutely.
Get it, right sir, Peter is talking about FALSE Prophets, not Believers, this is why He and other Apostles were constantly Warning the Believers about Unbelievers who pretend to be believers with them, Get the Context friend, Context.... 2 Peter 2:1 King James Version 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
That does not make sense when you say can we lose a “eternal salvation”. Christ said it was “eternal” salvation, not temporary salvation that he offered and he said it many times, John 3:15-16, John 4:10, 5:24, John 6:40,51 . John 6:47 is written grammatically in present tense possession, of a life offered “with out end”, and according to the verse I can have it the second I trust Christ for it, how long ? Without ending Christ says ….So if I have this everlasting life today but somehow not next month it was not eternal to start with was it.. So Christ could not have used the word everlasting if I am to trust your interpretation…. But Christ did not use the temporary did he …It’s what you are saying he should have used, by inserting the 2 Peter verses. So if we believe your understanding Christ was lying about it being everlasting, and so was the writer of John because he said the exact same thing in John 3:36. Ok you use 2 Peter 2:20-21 to back up your claim, and yes this sounds like you can lose something “everlasting”. But is that what the 2 verses are teaching? Or should we read the whole chapter to make it make sense ? When reading 2 Peter 2 ,as well better include 1 Peter also , so that the 2 verses can make sense .. So who is Peter referring to ? Back up to verse 18, Peter is speaking about false teachers that were enticing those just escaping from error and entered the church. …Sounds like baby Christians to me …. They heard and understood the gospel of Jesus Christ however the Bible is very clear that intellectual knowledge is not the same as saving faith (James 2:19), James goes on to say in 2:23, that Abraham believed God an it was counted as righteousness. Just like in John 6:47 to obtain a everlasting life. But let’s continue if these “believers”as you say can lose a salvation that never ends why would 1:peter 1:5 say believers kept by the power of God ? You are saying they are not kept…. Verse 3 says God “Hath” begotten us, verse 4 to an inheritance, I guess you got to believe that Christ takes you out of the will also , but he says we are kept, so your explanation can not be accurate can it. You need to pray about this and be careful what you are teaching because you are teaching error..
No, Jesus didn’t lie. The life is eternal, but our participation is that life may or may not be eternal. For instance, in 1 John 5:11-12 says “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” The life is eternal. The life is with the Son. The life continues. But our participation in that life may or may not continue depending on if we still have the Son. Hebrews is a good book to show this. The main point is that there are all these things that are greater in the Christ (like a greater sacrifice), but that section ends with the warning to these Hebrew Christians that “if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment…” Hebrews 10:26-27. In other words, if they abandon Christ (by willfully returning to their life of sin) after they obey the gospel, they have abandoned the only sacrifice that can save them from God’s wrath. Back to 2 Peter. You are right that most of the chapter is talking about false teachers, but this last section speaks of warnings to those who are being carried away with their deceptions and not necessarily the false teachers themselves (but it certainly would include them). For instance in vs. 19 he talks about “by whom a person is overcome and brought into bondage” which leads into our verses here in vs. 20-22. This section says nothing about intellectual knowledge, but these are Christians who have escaped corruption, but in following after these false teachers (even though they had once escaped) they are entangled in their sins once again and are lost. There are passages all throughout the NT scriptures warning us not to abandon Christ, but to endure to the end. I have certainly prayed about it, but will continue. I would encourage you to consider some of these things. God bless.
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15. John 6:47, john 3;15, john 3:16 john 3:36, Acts 16:31 does not say anything about what we do except take Christ or and writers at their word for Life with no ending. It is impossible Grammatically to make it say what you are saying. John 6:47, and John 3:36, Hath = present tense (possession) of (Everlasting life) which means without ending.
@@SpeakingTruthinLove4.15 wrong. you clearly didnt understood these verses and the verses about forever saved,. youre doing a huge mistake here by causing believers to doubt their own salvation, , does it mention anywhere in this passage that those who have known the truth have turned from it bcz they were just like those from the parable of the sower, the first type of seed. They heard and understood the gospel of Jesus Christ however is not the same as saving faith . they were not truly born again regenerated. otherwose why those who backslidden , are restored by God and they turn from their cold spiritually state to jesus and his word once again and God brings revival in thei lives? bcz they cant lose salvation. they cant be born again and unborn again. sealed and unsealed with the HS. they may lose their rewards but still make it to heaven barely. thats why it says they wont inherit the kingdom of God. they wont enjoy the blessings and the privileges of the kingdom but they will be citizens of heaven,
Thank you.🕊️🔥💯
